SETTING THE SCENE: WINTER HOME STAGING IN WELLINGTON

We’re so excited about being able to attend property viewings once again! We have no doubt that folks have been chomping at the bit to get out and about to view your property, but once the initial excitement dies down, you might find the house market warming up competitively despite the cooler weather. If you want your house to stand out amid the influx of available properties (post lockdown), you’re going to need to keep things extra cosy. 

Here are our top tips for homestaging during the chilly season.

A warm home leaves a lasting impression 

A warm home is an inviting one, and folks viewing your house will feel instantly welcomed by a home that greets them with wonderful warmth. If you have a fireplace, be sure to clean and light it in advance so that the house smells and feels divinely warm in time for the viewing. The same should be said for a heatpump or central heating system – definitely make sure this is cleaned and maintained by a professional so that your home feels and smells fresh. 

Warm textures can be added by a trusted Wellington home staging expert. Homestaging furniture is an excellent way to add warm texture to an otherwise cold and empty property for sale. A Wellington homestaging expert can decorate your home with wooly rugs, shaggy throws and comfortable furnishings to create the perfect cosy atmosphere for your property viewers. By the time we are finished, viewers will be sad to leave such a lovely, warm home, and they won’t forget the feelings of comfort and relaxation they felt when touring your property. 

Photos that feel warm 

Photos of your property should be inviting enough to inspire viewers to leave the warm comforts of their own homes; to brave the outdoors in order to attend a viewing. Unfortunately, cold, furniture-less photos of an empty home aren’t going to cut it. You need the help of a Wellington homestaging expert to ensure your photos appeal to someone scrolling through property advertisements and departing whether or not they’re brave enough to leave their warm homes. 

Comfortable furniture and warm, gentle lighting will do just the trick in this case. Photos of your property will not only stand out, they’ll set a scene with a photo album that instantly evokes comfort, security, warmth and quality. It just takes a little home staging magic and the perfect collection of furniture to make any cold, empty home a dreamy winter getaway.
